About me

Hi everyone! I’m Dani, a postpartum doula here in the Boise, Idaho area **with experience traveling internationally for clients** I’ve spent over a decade caring for newborns and families as a nanny and newborn caregiver, and now I specialize in supporting parents after their baby arrives. I help with newborn care, sleep routines, meals, light household support, and anything that helps new parents actually rest and recover. I truly believe mothers deserve to be cared for just as much as their babies, and I love helping families feel confident and supported during those early weeks. In addition to offering postpartum care, I am a birth doula and childbirth educator. Please reach out should you have any questions.
